What should happen when users visit an alias domain on your site, but the URL doesn't match any of the content attached to the alias domain?
We've added a 404 Handling mechanism that can be enabled by activating the 404 Handling checkbox:
There are two possibilities when enabling the 404 handling mechanism:
- Throw 404 Error - You can throw a standard 404 error, as if the page is simply missing. This keeps the experience similar to a standalone website.
- Redirect to microsite homepage - This means that the site visitor will be redirected to the alias domain homepage, configured in the domain mapping settings. See Creating Microsites for more information about how to set the microsite homepage. This functionality replaces the need for a "404 Redirect to Homepage" type of plugin.
